[Mod]Hell's Trinity

Have you considered putting a wingman in? Perhaps once you complete x number of missions a rebel asks to come with you.

Have you considered putting a wingman in? Perhaps once you complete x number of missions a rebel asks to come with you.

I have acutally, but at the time, the coding broke (around .8 it was) -- I will attempt to re-implement it again in this new addition.

I like wingmen. You can use them as shields against scary Phobos But they do make the game seem more complete. If you haven't already got it working, feel free to use my code I have in the Network (systems.xml, the wingman is at the bottom, the code for pulling him in is just above that)

Thanks!

I might use that...I struggled alot with wingmen. >.<

Well, over the last week I have been surging ahead with Hell's Trinity, thanks to everyone's help on scripting and such like that. This is the biggest update I have ever done to this mod, and I think it shows. Aside from swapping the player to a Ronin/A, giving him new weapons and shields, I have also made a new graphic for the select adventure screen.

The biggest addition so far is the mission system, which now allows the player to complete several missions in the Lincoln System, up to destroying an Ares Shipyard. You can get wingmen now, all customized with different speech, ships and weapons, and you might notice a lot of other changes - I replaced the Sung Station graphic with an armoured commonwealth station one, and tweaked dockscreens everywhere.

Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Ok, in order to keep things nice and easy (and to make sure people are using a current version of Hell's Trinity) I have released the so-called Beta, however the mod is still not finished.

You cannot "succeed" in the game and the main storyline is still incomplete. However, Lincoln has received a major re-work, and so the next version of Hell's Trinity will work on fixing up Bismuth and ultimately Orion. This could still take some time, so it's for this reason I decided to release the Beta. The old .8 was so basic compared to this I feel it only fair to let people play with this while I fix up the rest of it.

So, without further ado, here is Hell's Trinity Beta.

Thanks to everyone who has made this possible!

I found something that's not really a bug, but still a problem. Mostly, there are way too many ships wandering, way too far out. In Orion, I had to go this far before I passed the cloud of sandstorms:

Wandering much bug.png (16.97 KiB) Viewed 5250 times

I did a range test, and I found that the targeting computer found from where I was to system center was 1405 (ls I think). There were hundreds if not thousands of them, making my game lag on autopilot.

This is really loads of fun!
I am a little sad though, because it crashes randomly on a station explosion (I'm using version 1.08f)
I tried to save/reload and it crashed five times in succsession on the same station errorlog:
